Xanthos Cosmos

“Xanthos” means “yellow” in Greek. This one comes in a focused range of pale ivory to soft butter-yellow tones–absolutely new in cosmos. No wonder it won a Fleuroselect medal! Single flowers are very large and elegantly showy. Dwarf plants, early and productive, are equally valuable in the landscape, in containers on porches and patios, or cut.
